Impact of the mesoscale structure of a bipartite ecological interaction network on its robustness through a probabilistic modeling

Saint-Clair Chabert-Liddell, Pierre Barbillon, Sophie Donnet

The robustness of an ecological network quantifies the resilience of the ecosystem it represents to species loss. It corresponds to the proportion of species that are disconnected…
